a Be it knownthat LAUs'rrN Wm'rooinmof Beverly, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, 'have invented certain newV and useful Improvements in Bell-Pull Attachments and l do hereby declare that the folt lowing is a full, clear,"and exact description thereof', which will `enableothers Vslilledin the art to which it pertains to make and Vuse v the same, reference being: ha'dto the accompanying drawing, and tothe letters of referlence markedthereomfwhich form a lpart of this specitieatioi`1.`

My invention relates to improvements `in bell-pull attachments, and consists of` a wire having a hook in its rearend, that is 'hooked Y into the eye of the bell crank. 'lhe'other end of the wireis providedwith an exte'rior screwthread, that is screwed into a female screwthread that is madethrough the centerot' the shank of the bellpull or handle.'

This vis a great improvement over the ordina-rytwistedtvireheretofore used to connect the bell-crank and the shank of thebell-pull,`A

whichwas vvery liable 'to-` getv out of order.,

whereas my invention is very strong and dilrable, -is easily attached` or detached to` and from the'bell-crankand shank ot' the bellfpull,

l 'and is capableof adjustment 'according to the thickness of the wall vor frame where uit is located. Y

'Io connect my invention I proceed as foly lows: VThe hollow screw-threaded shank is in- `serted through the socketfatter lwhich the screw threadedfwirefi being out off to its proper length, isscrewed into thescrewthreaded part of the shank, and whenQproper- I 1y adjustedlthehookea emi-ofthe wireis ,inserted through the eye of thebell-crauk,

` the plate ot' which is afterward secured to the inside `ot the framein the usual manner.

f 'I he invention is full-y represented in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation, and Fig. 2

represents a plan view. l

Simiiarletters refer to similar parts wherscrewfthread, e, as shown, into which isV screwed the end of the screw-threaded wire f, as shown. The wire f is provided at its-rear 't i end with a hook, g, thatis hooked into the eye It ofthe bell-crank i'. The said bell-crank A' is made to swing around the i'ulerumv k, and

the bell-wire is attached to theeye `ifot' thesaidvbellcranl; in the usual manner.

Having thus fully described vthe nature,

construction, and operation ot' my invention,

I wish" to secure by Letters Patent, and clain1 The combination, with the handle a and its screw-threaded shank b, `of the screw-threaded wiref, ,having hook gattached to the bellcranki, substantially as and for the purpose set forth and described.

In testimony that I claim the my own inventionxI have affixed my signature in presence of'two witnesses.
